No.... the kind of review where the guy's mind was already made up and he just went in to get a few "yeah they suck lol" comments from forumites.


But the conclusion was correct! :mellow:

In terms of conveying what the album actually sounds like I much prefer Tyler's review, which is far more accurate and detailed. I mean, that guy just compares it to The Black Album and Aerosmith, ffs.

True. I'm not seriously defending that MetalStorm review, but I agree with its conclusion more than I do with Tyler's. :D

What was the longer thread for a review? I think we can beat that if Tyler comes back to defend his review... :lol:

Fuck, even Ultra Beatdown was only 10 pages. That's when I had TheMetalWarrior dude trying to convince me that a single Dragonforce song was more complex and nuanced than the entire Manowar catalogue. Heh.

I thought that was an acknowledged open secret that the entire thing was made up and that he never Od'd.

Don't even go there. I bitched and complained endlessly about that extremely biased review. It is still one of the best albums of it's year.

Although I would never go so far as saying it was one of the best albums of the year, I do enjoy it. So I didn't make the joke because I hate Slipknot (because I don't), but because I know most people around here hate them.

I expected it to say something like: "Darth Vader is riding a squirrel. Your argument is invalid."
Now I'm disappointed noodles.

If you count the old forums, this thread has a long way to go before beating the amount of posts for the St. Anger review. I remember a member saying his was the 666th post. And after that, there were a lot more posts. So, I would say it might have had around 700-800 or maybe more posts.
